I&#8217;m sure the US customs would have had something to say with all those poisonous explosive chems in my suitcase. Luckily John had offered the use of one of his darkboxes and would provide me with chems to shoot some plate. Thanks also to Gary for the offer of some collodion and dev.<br \/>\nI did take my 5&#215;7 camera, lenses and some cut aluminium plates although John was willing for me to use one of his cameras if I hadn&#8217;t brought one.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK we tend to use a Quickclear collodion recipe but here I was using something called &#8220;&#8216;Ol Workhorse&#8221; a verison similar to &#8220;&#8216;Ol Reliable&#8221; you&#8217;ve just got to love these names. I&#8217;ll be trying out this recipe on my return to the UK. It seems to hold better midtones and seems not so fragile as the Quickclear.<\/p>\n<p>Heres the darkbox I was using, the tarp is for when it rains as it looks like this darkbox is kept in place and not packed away.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5706\" title=\"wpjdarkbox1\" src=\"http:\/\/fourtoes.co.uk\/iblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wpjgeneral11.jpg\" alt=\"wpjdarkbox1\" width=\"432\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fourtoes.co.uk\/iblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wpjgeneral11.jpg 432w, https:\/\/fourtoes.co.uk\/iblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wpjgeneral11-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was surprised that the interior of the box didn&#8217;t get too hot especially as it was painted black with a black cloth (double thickness fabric).

I&#8217;d been having some problems with collodion peeling off my drying plates. This shouldn&#8217;t be happening with aluminium but what I found was where I had cut the plates to size back home to save on time, there was a raised rough lip\/edge to the plates where they had been cut with the craft knife blade. Where edges had been cut with the guillotine there was no issue. The next day I had no further problems as I spent an hour flattening each edge with a borrowed tin opener?

I&#8217;ll then mail out the plates to the sitters as I tend not to keep portraits of other people. I&#8217;ll keep a high res scan for future use though.<\/p>\n<p>Trick of the Trade&#8230; the plate below was the first exposure test plate on the Saturday. It was overexposed by a good three stops. I&#8217;d fixed it and put it in the wash and left it as a lost cause as you could only just make out the chap standing next to the tent. Gregg and Paul both mentioned something from John Coffers manual called &#8220;Trick of the trade&#8221;. Its a version of Farmer&#8217;s reducer that uses Sodium Thio, Potassium Ferricyanide and distilled water. Gregg carries small tubs of of the main chemical which we just mixed with water from the well. Paul then showed me how its used. With the properly mixed chems theres no need to fix again you just wash the chems off. In this case we poured the chems on the plate, washed and then fixed. Each time the shadows became more noticeable. After the fifth application the figure in the image looked great but by now the highlights had begun to change colour and look a little muddy. Paul mentioned that localised application is possible and its very useful for slightly over exposed areas of plates. I was really impressed by this method even on this greatly overexposed plate, maybe I was asking a little too much. I&#8217;ll be giving this a go in the UK as I&#8217;d not seen anyone using it here. It obviously has a limited usage but its definitely worth giving a go.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d put the plate one side to dry and on return found it had begun to peel extensively. Not sure if this a side effect of the nature of this chemical rescue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5632\" title=\"wpjMarkPeel\" src=\"http:\/\/fourtoes.co.uk\/iblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wpjMarkPeel.jpg\" alt=\"wpjMarkPeel\" width=\"432\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fourtoes.co.uk\/iblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wpjMarkPeel.jpg 432w, https:\/\/fourtoes.co.uk\/iblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wpjMarkPeel-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And heres a japanned plate made from an old gunpowder tin, thanks to Mark C Richards for this kind gift.
